Interkom is a podcast about politics and society in post-socialist Eurasia. On this show I look at rebellion and resistance, and the struggle against the politics of reaction and repression, in a region where the past weighs heavily and often complicates attempts at formulating leftist analyses of contemporary sociopolitical processes.

#02: Georgy Mamedov / Confronting the Tragedy of Today
In this episode I speak to Georgy Mamedov, an old acquaintance of mine in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, about how to reject the false choices of our time.
Georgy is a Bishkek-based activist, curator, author and academic. He is currently assistant professor in the Television, Cinema, and Media Arts department, at the American University of Central Asia in Bishkek. His writing has been published in Jacobin, OpenDemocracy, and elsewhere.
The anti-war statement of the Kyrgyz anti-war committee, of which Georgy was a co-author, can be found (in Russian) here.
Here is an article I wrote in 2016, about the ShTAB-collective, of which Georgy was a co-founder and driving force.
Audre Lorde’s “Notes from a trip to Russia”, which Georgy refers to, can be found here.
Here is an analysis I wrote on the latest uprising in Kazakhstan, from January 2022.
